Highlights
Datamonitor would advocate providers introducing "lite" versions of the
traditional CII product along the lines of Virgin' s Cancer Cover. For instance
providers could introduce separate policies aimed at the three most common
types of CII claim: cancer, heart attack and strokes.
Premiums for CII written as a rider to term insurance have declined
significantly since 2003. In 2003 premiums totaled £378m however this figure
dropped off markedly in 2004 and 2005 and by 2007 premiums totaled £218m,
representing a 42.3% fall. Despite an increase in 2006 new business premiums
declined by a further 9.9% in 2007
